example, I want it to be right
Those icy blue eyes beckoned me again, do I accept this journey offer all over again? Or should I use it to escape and be free?
"Guards escort him out by force if you have to," Hiro demanded.
The guards came at him with their sword drawn; I walked down the steps faster scared that he would be dead by the time I reached the bottom.
But he quickly evaded them and pulled out his own sword and knocked both guards out with the hit to the head by the sword's hilt.
"I don't have time to waste here, I will take what is mine and leave," he gave Hiro a glare.
The lights went out and the crowd became berserk and started yelling and trying to escape. What was going on, how can he see in the dark here? I was overwhelmed by a certain smell and tried to keep my eyes open but it became impossible.
…
When my eyes were opened again, it was in an unfamiliar place. There were no fancy bed sheets, no expensive furniture or décor to enlighten the mood. I rose from my spot and looked around, it was simple like my old home but had the modern items inside.
"Ah, you are awake?" Someone surprised me.
"Ah-" I said as I fell backward off the bed from the greeting.
"I am so sorry, too cheery?" he asked as he offered a hand.
In front of me was a man with foreign hair color as mine but bright green eyes.
"You must be Rima? Are you hungry?" he asked as he started to stretch.
"Um no, thank you." I replied wondering who this man was, and how did I get here anyway?"
"Why do you look me so strangely?" he asked.
I kept my distance unsure of what he could do.
"Quiet down, Ichijo, not so early in the morning-" the voice warned as it came closer to the door.
"Oh, you're awake," he said as he glanced my way.
"Good morning to you to, I was just checking on our friend here," he smiled again.
"Ok, stay here okay. Come on I need to talk to you about something." He motioned Takuma.
That's right, I saw him again. It wasn't a dream?
After waiting a little while longer Master Senri came back, and he closed the door behind him. His expression was grim but I still fathom me how he did not seem to age much at all.
"Master-"
"Wait, I thought you made a promise to me? Remember, when I come back you are suppose to call me by my name. I don't own you anymore," he chuckled.
I didn't understand why it panged my heart to hear that he had no possession of me, as if I didn't matter.
"Oh, right Senri." I said with hesitation.
"We ran away to another town where they will keep my identity a secret, so I think we will be safe for a little while. Come on I want you to go sightseeing. This is the first real time you will be in town for fun and not a chore right?" he asked.
I could only nod, there were so many questions inside that I wanted to ask but I was still under the impression that it wasn't the right thing to get involved into the masters life.
"Why the long face?" he asked.
"I wanted to know if it was okay to ask you something?"
"I promise after today you can ask all you want okay?" He gave me another smile.
I nodded again and agreed.
This town indeed was beautiful, the flowers bloomed madly and the variety of stands in this town was numerous. I didn't understand what was going on, the towns I ran errands in had little shops and boutiques and people were rarely seen out on the street talking and eating. I was amazed at the little trinkets that they had hanging. Kids were having fun and running around with their friends, this is what my life as a kid should have been like. We spent the whole day going around and walking around town.
On accident I had grabbed the master's hand like I did when I was a child, only now it was different.
I quickly retracted my hand and apologized and said it was a habit. He nodded and understood but didn't see it as a big deal as I did.
After eating and going around and visiting some of his friends we headed out to a place that was near the water. It was my first time seeing a real river in a long time; it flowed gently downstream and it was beautiful.
We sat under a tree each of us facing our own direction, I took a deep breath and my lungs felt energized. Life in the mansions was damp and odd smelling compared to this refreshing feeling.
"You can ask me anything you want now?" master Senri reminded me.
"Mas- um… Senri, where did you go?" I asked first off.
"I was out and around the country."
I had expected more of a response but he seemed hesitant.
"Why does everyone think you are dead?"
"Because I was supposedly killed in battle," he responded simply again.
"How did they think you died?" I asked curiously.
"They thought they had stabbed me with a sword."
"Okay then why did it take you so long to come back?" I asked in a hushed voice.
The words were hard to say as I thought back to my life with Ayame, the feeling of loneliness had invaded my heart just like the day I was sold away.
He didn't answer as I waited eagerly to hear his reason, I swept the cool grass under my hand, the ticklish feeling it gave me comforted me as he remained silent.
"Why was there something wrong?" he asked.
"No, it's just that you never wrote or sent anything to tell me you were okay or that you cared. If you were going to leave me there anywhere you could have sold me to make money or something," I replied coldly, hinting I was not satisfied with his answer.
"I came back though didn't I?"
"But for how long before you leave again," I asked, remembering he was apparently running from the law.
"That's why I am going to leave you here, its safe here and no one will hurt you." He added.
"So you're leaving again." I said bluntly.
"No,
it's better this way."
"That's what you thought also when
you left me behind with Ayame, you don't understand what I had to
go through to wait and wonder each day if you were coming back."I
confessed slowly.
But he remained silent, I grasped the grass and sighed.
There was no point; this man was still as silent and cold as ever. How did I ever expect someone like him to love back? To him there probably no such thing as love, only temporary satisfaction; this wasn't fair, when will someone love me long enough not to throw me away?
"The places I go to, isn't where you belong, you should stay in this world of bliss. Mine is too late to turn back to now but I don't want you living the same lifestyle as me." He responded.
"Then I will run from the law with you, I have no existence besides serving you, I have no family nothing to live on. If you were just going to let me stay here you might as well have never came all the way here to get me. How did you know I was even at Hiro's mansion?"
Again with the silent game.
"If you didn't care then you shouldn't have taken me away from that place, as much of a hell hole it was, it's better than being alone again."
He started laughing at my heartfelt confessions, and it angered me.
"Since when did you talk so much? Are you really that little girl Rima, the one that wouldn't talk to me for days?" he ridiculed me.
My blood was boiling, there was no point, I might as well just leave. His reactions to my words were slowly hurting inside.
My mind recently has lost its resilient strength of self control, I cry too easily now, I blame hormones.
Before I could make the tears come to me I decided to leave and run away before he sees my weakness. Showing weakness will be your ultimate downfall, and your opponent's greatest weapons.
As I stood up he grabbed my hand, I gave him a cold stare and he became more serious.
"I am sorry," he said.
"Doesn't matter what you say, I probably won't see you for another four or 10 years anyway."
He pulled me in and held me tight, why was he doing this.
"I am sorry for leaving you there, I did return home but I came back to find out my mansion had been trashed my belonging were missing. But none of that was important to me when I couldn't find you in the house. When Momo had told me that you were sold away I was angry and ready to kill Ayame. But I was more angry at myself when I realized what Ayame had put you through, it was my fault for leaving you behind." He apologized as he held on tighter.
I slowly brought my arms to his back, I missed him holding me like this.
"That's why I came to get you away from that slob as fast as I could; I was glad that nothing happened to you. If I promise that I will never leave you behind again will you smile for me again?"
He proposed the idea, and of course I wanted to be with him and agreed.
He let go and kissed me on the forehead.
"You have grown up to be such a beautiful young lady, I hardly recognized you from the little quiet twelve year old you were," he pinched my cheek.
"I have had a lot of things bottled inside to say to you, but I don't think they matter," I said.
"But there is one last question, are you still the same guy who jumps around with other girls, like Ayame?"
"There is more to it but now isn't the time to discuss something like that. "
It is completed… I think I am going to finish this before finding the light, just because I am on a roll. I already have 18 chapters completed! Anyway tribute to the following I guess?

Thank you for the reviews, seriously it makes me feel good and a way to vent out anger. There are some big chapters coming up pretty soon so yeah get ready, there is going to be more action and I guess you can it angst? But yeah in the end of the story I am thinking of only sending some people bonus chapters that have reviewed seriously and a couple of times. A couple are already shoo ins, like those whose names keeps on popping up at the top. I think that's fair.
